Acid of Boston has this very symbolic tattoo of Koi in his back.

“Koi” fish have been used in Chinese artworks long time ago. It was said that Koi tattoos are for good luck and fortune. Aside from that, it also represents courage, love and wealth depends on the color and direction they are swimming.

It symbolizes “courage” because human swims to ocean of sufferings without fear just like a fish that swims through water. It is a sign of “love” because Koi means love. It can be either “romantic love” or “passionate love.” It can also bring “wealth” if the tattoo is in harmony with your body and surroundings.

His Baybayin reads Malayang Tao

pinoy prideIf you will remember, this tattoo was already featured in the latter articles. The first part was the plain “Castro” in Ambigram style. But this time the surname Castro was background with 3 Stars and a Sun. What a very great combination! Look at how the 3 Stars and a Sun was made and blended with the first tattoo.

Again, this is from Jobeng Castro of Davao City. Credits to Rhostie and Yong for this tattoo.

AFTER TATTRespect and faithfulness are the two distinguish characteristics of Filipino when it comes to their family. Unlike other Asian countries, there are no booming orphanage in the Philippines for Filipinos love to keep and take care of their own parents or relatives till they grow old.

This also denotes the high respect and love of Edward with his family for his tattoo design showed it. This one is consists of 3 Stars and a Sun with the letters in family design that says his name “Edward Tumanan Tribue”.

Looks great but one character is upside down. Can anyone guess? If your going to get Baybayin tattooed, don’t use an online translator is they don’t know pronunciation and context. Either learn the script or ask someone for help.

The Sun and The Islands

l_ffffd82c88b54c0fa5ed35d36164e217Take a look on how the Philippine Sun was spruced up by Emerald Tattoo (the shop who made this tattoo). The tattoo was obviously designed with Philippine Islands and Philippine Sun. To spice things up, the artist of this tattoo put a little twist on the Philippine Sun and surprisingly the Philippine Stars are not included.

The bearer of this tattoo is Rick Reddaway from Jackson.
